Re: Heizer's City, has anyone seen any reports from anyone who has visited it? As far as I know it opened in early September, but I can't find anything except a YouTube video of some dudes who attempted to go there and skateboard on it (obv that didn't work out for them).

Questionable thread to put this in but I couldn't think of a better thread: The Last Family (2016), a biopic about Zdzislaw Beksinski and his family (his radio DJ/music critic/translator son Tomasz gets the second most attention) is great, doesn't follow the usual biopic patterns either (or I didn't notice them). Great to hear Pieter Nooten & Michael Brook in a film too, great choice.

I was surprised by just how much raw material there was to work from (loads of recordings, interviews), seems unusual for that kind of artist but maybe not

a good vid

Lovely documentary about Leonor Fini from 1987. I haven't seen many things like this for artists I'm so fond of. I have no idea what kind of percentage of her work is available online and in books in one handy place because it seems like there was probably hundreds and hundreds of stuff. She shows her phone doodles and they're mostly cat people, the cat men in wrestling pants made me laugh.

During lockdown, I got a bit addicted to Sotheby's and Christie's Youtube channels, the auctions can make you a bit queasy but before each auction livestream they often float out these short films, dedicated to the painter and painting for sale, and they can be very illuminating.

I had seen some of the paintings but never knew about the sottobosco movement, this was pretty exciting for me

Love this bollock naked man jumping up with flying dogs

The images aren't loading right for me but this is the only place I've seen these pictures all in one place. I wonder what her writing is like?

Woah.
That jumping dogs piece is intense...

Really loving James Pryde, a lot of his paintings look like formerly wealthy people living in the ruins of their homes or just a generally darkening world.

I got lost in this amazing shop site connected to the 50Watts online gallery and I don't believe I've ever seen Gerard Wagner before, there's not much of him online but there's a few recent books devoted to him and his work with Rudolf Steiner
